- Lightweight steel frame - Dedacciai brazed by Lee Cooper I believe
- Deore Wheels
- Deore Vs
- Unbranded XD2R cranks (similar to those sold by Spa) - quite good quality actually
- Crappy steel rings - will get some TAs eventually - 52-42-30
- 8 speed 11-28 cassette
- Alivio rapid fire shifter
- XT friction thumby
- Kenda slicks
- Specialized BG saddle
- Ultegra road triple front mech
- Exage 300 short cage rear mech
to do:
- pedals will be changed (silver platforms on order
- guards to be fitted
- some kind of ergo bar-ends
All in all seems like a nice, bomb-proof road bike. 27" to 118" gears - suits me fine for hills. Fairly upright position, again ideal for me.
Initial impressions are good, comfort with speed and good road handling. I like it!
Thanks to Orange71 for frame, bits and consultancy.
